Fisher represented fellow golfer Norman in his split from his first wife Laura Andrassy. Florida-based Australian Norman, who recently also split from second wife Chris Evert, paid Andrassy a US$100 million settlement.

Meanwhile, Nordegren, 30, was spotted running in a park in her native Sweden on Saturday.

Friends have said she wants to return to her homeland permanently, after fleeing there with the couple's two children.

"She's returning from Sweden within two weeks and that's when events with Tiger will come to a showdown," one source said.

Other sources insist that Nordegren will definitely divorce 34-year-old Woods.

"It's 100 per cent happening. Elin and her mum met with a lawyer before they went to Sweden," the source said.

"It's going to take a long time to go through. But she will go through with it. She will do it slowly and carefully."
